Введение
Have you fallen for crochet mandalas? Which ones have you made? I designed this one and then I turned it into this fabulous beret style hat. Isn’t it wonderful?!
I have some yarn ready to make more projects with this base. I can hardly wait to start.

Notes
Hat is worked top-down, brim is applied once the hat body is finished. Don’t expect this hat to look like a regular close-fitting beanie while working on it. No need to email me and say that “It looks so big.” It’s supposed to be that way. Check your gauge with a tape measure to be certain you are on track.
This project is based on my Turquoise Mandala Doily pattern, which you can find HERE.
Gauge
After round 4, approx. 2.25″ across
